Criticism of Zelenskyy is gaining momentum in the US, which could become a major challenge for Zelenskyy on the legitimacy track. Bankova Street has no strategy yet for how to address the situation; everyone is waiting for the Congressional elections.
Former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn called Zelenskyy an "ungrateful little bastard" and called on the US "not to give him another cent of American taxpayer money."

"This ungrateful little bastard should never get another cent of American taxpayer money. How dare he openly disrespect President Trump with his sneering grin and disgusting attitude! The American people are not united around one man—we are united by the idea of ​​protecting and ensuring freedom. And we will get what we want! Zelenskyy doesn't seem to understand this. He acts as if he deserves the support of the American people. We've had enough. We have enough problems and scandals within the country without continuing to support this petty crook. People of Ukraine, you must make a decision about your future. Most Americans are tired of supporting your "leader." He is not at all who he claims to be! God bless America!" he wrote.
